File without opening the dialog window

How do I open a file on Mac without dialog window using a pre-defined path network?
example: myfile / mytest / mytestfile.ai
Thanks

Hi Ferrarezzi
Just a tip
If you look at your computer..in the same folder where Extended Script Toolkit application is installed, there´s a PDF called JavaScript Tools Guide.
This guide has a chapter that covers all the File and Folder methods and properties. Read it. This would give you a great overview of what you can do with Files and Folders
Best Regards
Gustavo.

Using ExcelExport without opening the dialog box to select all the channels in portal by default

Hi,
I need to export all the data in the Data portal to an Excel file without opening the Dialog for channels selection. In the ExcelExport command, it asks for a Config (*.stp) file as one of the parameters. Is there need to create a new stp file for selecting all channels or can the same file (Example_ASC.stp ) be reused ? If so, do I need to change any content in the system stp file ?
Thanks

In Snow Leopard, there was a quick look feature that allowed you to look at files without opening the program. It doesn't show up in Lion on my iMac. Any ideas? Thanks

How can I save an indd file as an idml file without opening the document?

I cannot open an InDesign file that was made in a later version of InDesign because I don't have the right plugins. How can I convert this indd file to an idml file without opening it?

Well..... sort of depends on your version.
If you have any version as part of CC subscription, the latest updates are supposed to be using a cloud-based service to generate the IDML for you so that you can open the newer files seamlessly.

How to write IPTC metadata to files without opening the file?

HI,
I'm trying to run a script (preferably in JS) that allows me to write metadata to a file. I can acheive this very easily by opening the file, but I'd need to batch process many large images, so opening them would cause severe slowness. The purpose of adding the metadata to the files is to search upon them in Bridge.
We're using CS5, but have CS6 if it's better to use.
My Script
// set current doc ref
var docRef = app.activeDocument;
// Set caption in active document
docRef.info.caption = "Some Meta-Data";
Do I need to use bridge to write the metadata without opening the file? Or can running the script in PS allow me to do so?
Thanks,
Tom

Its easy if you use XMP metadata.
app.activeDocument.info.caption (in photoshop script metadata)
and it is the same field as:
     Dublin Core namespace
     namespace:     http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/
     Property:          description
you change description on XMP = you are changing the same image.info.caption

How to view contents of file without opening the file?

Does anyone know of a utility that will allow you to quickly view the contents - or a part thereof - of a file (particularly Word files) without having to open the file? I have thousands of files restored after a disk failure, but their filenames have been lost and replaced with sequential numbers. The only way of knowing the contents is to open the file, a tedious process for so many. I seem to recall seeing a shareware app that allowed this. Thanks for any help.

Open the Script Editor in the /Applications/AppleScript/ folder and paste in the following:
tell application "Finder"
repeat with this_num from 1 to 5
set the_item to item this_num of window 1
set the_name to name of the_item
set the_text to (read (the_item as alias) from 1 to 15)
tell application "TextEdit"
set text of document 1 to (text of document 1) & the_name & return & the_text & return & return
end tell
end repeat
end tell
Before running the script, place the folder containing the files in the frontmost Finder window; you may want to split the files between several different folders and process each folder before heading on to the next one. The numbers in blue can be customized as needed; the first one controls how many files the script will search on each run, and the other two define what part of the file will be searched. The output from a file which is in a format other than plain text may contain document formatting and other content which will look like random characters.

If you have a postscript printer or rip which has the ability to create hot folders to link to the printer queues you could simply drag-n-drop and PDL (page description language) file like PDF, PS, EPS to that hot folder to initiate printing. Again, very dependent on your printer/rip device.

3. Click the Options button.
4. In the Folder Options window that appears, click on the View tab..
5. Uncheck the "Always show icons, never thumbnails" option.

When I open a pdf file, Firefox opens a blank window, then the file opens in a Adobe Reader window. How can I stop the blank window?

Whether I am using Firefox 3.6.8 or Thunderbird 3.0.6, clicking on a pdf file opens a new window. After a few seconds the pdf file opens in a separate Adobe Reader window. When I am done with that and close it, I still have to go back and close out the blank window. Got to be a configuration issue some place. I have tried several settings under Tools/Options, but haven't found the right setting yet. Any suggestions?

Thank you very much for the reply. I followed your instructions. This fixed half of the problem. Links to pdf files that are on web pages now come up with a box that asks if I want to open or save the file, without a blank browser window in the background. That is great.
When I tested the fix with pdf file links in email, the problem still exists. I tested links in Outlook Express, Yahoo mail, and Gmail. Any time I click on a pdf link in an email, a blank Firefox window opens and then I get the small window that asks me if I want to open or save the file. Sounds like this is a configuration issue, not a technical problem. Thanks for your help.

If you don't wish to listen to all playing videos and it is too much trouble to stop or close non-foremost player windows, then don't use the QT X (or any similar) media player for playback. (I.e., this is what they are programmed to do.) Instead, use a media player like QT 7 which has a user preference that can be set so that only the "foremost" player window audio is heard when multiple videos are being played simultaneously.

How can we get the artset from a .ai file without opening it?

Hello All,
I have one .ai file, lets say sample.ai file. located in C drive. so the complete file path is "C:\Sample.ai".
and lets assume the sample.ai file has one traingle shape(3 path type arts) in it.
Now I want to get the 3 path arts (artset) from sample.ai file without opening it in AI.
The function protoype is like below
AIArtSet& artSet GetArtSetFromAFile( ai::FilePath& filePath );
Is there any API like above function in AI? or is it possible to get the art(s) from a file without opening it in AI?

Not to my knowlege. The API only operates on active documents as far as I know.

How to access the options tab without opening firefox in windows 8.1?

Recently moved from Windows XP to Windows 8.1. Used to be able to access the Firefox options tab via a context menu by right-clicking the icon in my Start Menu without having to open the browser window, which was useful for selectively deleting cookies, etc, after a browsing session.
Is this functionality still possible in Windows 8.1? If so, how? Or is this just another Windows 8 annoyance?
Thanks.

Thanks.
That does indeed do the job!

How to open PDF in Acrobat 9 without displaying the Acrobat window

Am using IAC in Windows XP via VC++ to open and modify PDFs in memory without displaying the Acrobat window so as to the PDF Processing in the background. To open the PDF, have to call the method PDDoc.OpenAVDoc which opens the Acrobat window for displaying the document.
As a workaround, I tried to minimize and hide the Acrobat viewer, using the AcroApp.Minimize and AcroApp.Hide methods. However opening, minimizing and hiding the viewer is creating a flickering effect (Acrobat window coming and going) especially when a no of PDFs have to be processed in a loop.
If I use only PDDoc.Open without the call to OpenAVDoc, am getting an error "No form is open in the Acrobat viewer".
Can anyone suggest a workaround to open and process PDFs in memory without displaying the PDF.

PDL,
Am getting the Error "No form is open in the Acrobat viewer" while trying to instantiate fields list inside the form via an AcroForms object. The problematic code snippet is given below
iPDDoc->Open("PDFFileName")
iAVDoc->AttachDispatch(PDDoc->OpenAVDoc("PDFFileName")), true);
ipFormApp->CreateDispatch("AFormAut.App", &OleExc)
i pFields = new IFields(pFormApp->GetFields());
The GetFields method is giving error in Acrobat 9 but its working fine in Acrobat 7 and 8.
Since the AV layer methods are working fine in Acrobat 7 and 8, please let me know why they are not working in Acrobat 9 and if there is any workaround.
Also, if I use only PD Layer methods, can I access the form fields inside the PDF?
